Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Last week Thursday was prayer group meeting. Was so frustrated with myself after the meeting. Exerted myself so much while playing basketball I almost collapsed. It's funny, how you plan what to say beforehand and think you would be able to bring it forth fluently, passionately and make it affect the listener. But when the time comes, you just don't have the abillity. I was so frustrated with myself. Probably because there was a non-Christian and I screwed up in front of her.
Yet, in the MOELC, I found myself on my knees during the 5min breaktime.
My mind is now drawn to Paul the Apostle. He probabaly was unhappy with certain disabillities. Maybe he stuttered a lot. Maybe he always forgets what to say, maybe he just isn't fluent enough. Three times he pleaded with God, "If You take this thorn in my flesh away from me, how much more I can contribute to Your glory." You know what, God wasn't looking for a perfect speaker. He just wanted to find somebody. And He found Paul. When you submit yourself before God, you will be amazed how He can turn your weakness and use it for His glory. God did not remove the thorn of flesh. Instead He said, "My grace is sufficient, for My power is made perfect in weakness." Human weakness is the ideal oppurtinity for divine power to be displayed. You might listen to the voices telling you you're not good enough. Listen to the voice of Jesus.
May my weakness glorify Your power.
